CPascal Compiler: Locking Down the BNF and Building from the Foundation #4

Discussion options

It's been a challenging but ultimately rewarding journey, as we've finally achieved a locked-down BNF and language specification for this version of the CPascal compiler. The core components required for a full compiler, as outlined in our project mandate, seem relatively manageable: CPascal.Lexer.pas, CPascal.AST.pas, CPascal.Parser.pas, CPascal.Semantic.pas, CPascal.IRGen.pas, and CPascal.Compiler.pas.

Learning about compiler design has been a deep dive, full of complex challenges. Despite the steep learning curve, we're steadily making progress. Currently, the compiler can parse and generate LLVM IR for simple constructs, laying a solid foundation. Our immediate next steps involve systematically working through the TODO.md checklist, starting with foundational control structures like while, repeat..until, and for statements. Each new feature is being rigorously developed and validated with comprehensive unit tests, adhering to our naming convention CPascal.Test.XXX.pas.

We're committed to our core directives: 100% fidelity to the CPASCAL-BNF.md grammar, generating complete and production-ready code, and strict adherence to the CODE-LAW.md principles. So far, progress has been excellent.
